New episodes every Monday! This is a platform for people with diverse backgrounds to share their perspectives on how they navigate life. Hosted by Vibhu Sharma and Shan Mohta.
A month ago, PBS released interesting videos talking about the unrest between milennials/Gen Z and older generations and we felt inspired to wrap up our 3rd season talking about "Ok Boomer". It's likely no surprise that wealth disparity and environmental harm has continually increased since the baby boomer generation, causing frustration amongst the younger generations. On the flip-side, baby boomers often believe young people feel entitled and complain without recognizing the need for hard work. In this season finale, Shan and I share our stories and research about the origins of the phrase "Ok Boomer", statistics to paint a picture of milennial/Gen Z concerns, and some perspectives from Baby Boomers.

E028 - Check Your Accent Bias w/ Professor Rahul Chakraborty
Professor Rahul Chakraborty is a faculty member at Cal State Fullerton, where he is the director of Bilingualism & Speech Laboratory, primarily focusing physiological evidence of first and second language interaction in adult bilinguals. His most recent work throughout the last few years have been about accent bias, its prevalence and the role that it plays in society and geopolitics.
Accent bias is something that affects everyone, yet is rarely acknowledged in bias-related discourse. From hospitals to education, accent bias is prevalent in people's subconscious (or conscious) judgements of others. Some people even believe they can tell another's body shape judging by that person's accent. In this episode we learn about the professor's research, discuss the ethics of businesses making accent-related decisions, and the path to his ideal future without such biases.
